There are two takes on politics. One, espoused by the late Tony Benn, is that it’s the issues that matter. And then there are the rest of us who think that the issues are of course terribly important but it’s the personalities that count. And for us, Dominic Cummings is the gift that keeps on giving.
The PM’s former adviser has surfaced in an interview in the New York Magazine with Tanya Gold. There we learn that Cummings’s work is still unfinished. His project, to see off Boris and Carrie, is ongoing. “It is,” he observes, “an unpleasant but necessary job. It’s sort of like fixing the drains.”
